A despatch from Alercersburg Monday to the Franklin Reposi tory, says that it can now be stated surely that Mrs. Elmer Trogler docs not have hydropho bia. The convulsious which she had are now attributed by her physician, we are told, to the aw ful strain on her nervous system due to the horrible illness and death of her husband. HIDES. James Sipes & Sons pay the highest market price for beef hides at their butcher shop in McConnellsburg, also highest price paid for calf skins, sheepskins and tallow. A satisfactory substitute for wooc pulp has been needed, and many have been the experiments with corn stalks, and other plants of woody libe.- to satisfy the need. Only partial success has reward ed the experiments hitherto, but now the department of agricul ture at Washington authoritively states that complete success has at last crowned the efforts so dil- ligently made. Corn stalks are the raw material, the quality of the paper manufactured is super ior and the cost of producti n will be much less than that of wood pulp. As the department is not in the habit of prematurely stat ing results we may accept the statement as true. It certainly solves the question of paper sup ply, for the raw material is prac tically unlimited. It is one of those discoveries that will benefit all classes. The newspaper mau will welcome it, for it means less expense for paper, the public generally will gain by it, and a lor the farmer it will mean that cornstalks, instead of being rub bish to gather up and burn, will be ot:e of the most valuable by products of his farm.

Have a basin of co'd water at your hand and a small piece of soft white rag part of an old handkerchief will do very well to use as a damper. Inexperienced ironers will find it a help to have a piece of thin muslin to lay over the collars in ironing, just till the surface be comes a little drier; this prevents the irons sticking to the starch. But after a little practice wet ironing-may easily be proceeded with quite independently ot this assistance. Unroll the bundle and take out two or three collars. Lay them flat on the table and rub them out with the damper as smooth-as you can get them. Seethatyour iron ia very hot and perfectly clean. Pass it twice quickly over the right side of one ft the col lars; turn the collar, iron twice on the wrong side, iron again, re peating the process so as to dry collar equally. Kach time press a little more heavily and make more effort to smoothe out the collar. Continue ia this way till steam ceases to rise. Now ru'. the iron rather heavily over the right side of the collar, as this will impart a nice glossy finish to your work. To make the ridge at the edge of the collar like a newly-bought article, at the last rubove.-or polish do not let the iron quite touch the edge of the collar, but keep its outer edge smoothly on a line with the stitching. i Come in and let these goods und prices make you one of our i many stauuch friends and customers. i S'JBHHHHH F.
